Grapher

Grapher is a Python class that generates a 2D graph object for displaying (x, y) data as text.

Y ..........
  X →

Usage

To use Grapher, first import the class and create a new Grapher object. You can specify the width, height, initial x and y offsets, and the fill character for the graph:

from grapher import Grapher

# Create a Grapher object with the default parameters
graph = Grapher()

# Create a Grapher object with a width of 30, height of 20, and a fill character of space " ".
graph_spaces = Grapher(width=30, height=20, fill=" ")

Once you have created a Grapher object, you can use the following methods to manipulate the graph:

set_value(x, y, value): Set the value at the specified position in the graph.

get_value(x, y): Get the value at the specified position in the graph.

display(): Return the graph as a printable string.

Here's an example of how to use these methods:

# Generate a graph object with optional offset
width, height = 10, 5
start_x, start_y = width // 2, height // 2
graph = Grapher(width, height, start_x, start_y)

# Create a coordinate variable with a representative character
sprite = (0, 0, "X")

# Set the variable in the graph
graph.set_value(*sprite)

# Print the graph
print(graph.display())

# Get a specific value from the graph
print(graph.get_value(0, 0))

Output:

..........
..........
.....X....
..........
..........
X
